I wanna live where the Fedora people do
(*) Apologies to Pulp

I've never lived among Red Hat users.

While I was living in Vermont, the extent of my Linux friends was four Gentoo users and an Ubuntu user. Now that I've moved to California the LUG I'm attending is over half Debian; SuSE and Ubuntu make up the majority of the remainder.

At my work we install Fedora-derived Linux Terminal Server Labs for schools. But in the office we're running Edubuntu and Linspire thin clients.

I went to a meeting at the neighboring LUG tonight. They had a summary of their monthly business including a report on their monthly installfest. Apparently, only one person RSVP'd to say they wanted help installing. And they wanted Fedora Core 5!... which the install folks told the would-be convert hadn't been released yet.

One member of the audience asked if anyone still ran Fedora....

After the meeting, the speaker was talking about the new Knoppix and then segued into Ubuntu. He had an interesting anecdote about plugging in a new Canon digital camera on Ubuntu and it just mounted the camera and offered to import the photo's in gthumb. (On his previous distro he'd had to hack something together with hotplug and autofs.)

Why can't I live someplace where the anecdote is about Fedora?

Or at least, somewhere where the people I'm talking with realize that this kind of out-of-the-box hardware detection is not an Ubuntu specificism but the fact that Ubuntu is integrating Project Utopia bits... just like Fedora and other bleeding edge distros.

That's why my birthday wish for this year (and yes, I've seemingly managed to fritter away another decade of life) is for Core 5 to convert everyone I know into Fedora users! If that works, next year's wish will be that they become developers :-)


(我也想，真的。我真的非常好奇，fedora 用户都是些什么人，都在什么地方，难道 fedora 不是最好的发行版吗..我也 Apologiez to SZLUG 那帮 BSD+Emacs+gentoo people 吧)

有照片、录像等等
很羡慕啊！我们这边也许会找到很多牛人，如果我从现在开始写 GTK+ 代码的话，过一两个月应该也可以懂得录像里，pcman 先生在讲什么。
仔细看下录像内容，学习下。就是想找到这样的入门，有老师带着，有实验目标做着。在公司里的经验，是还应该有个 schedule & deadline。负面的经验就是 cleanly build & 分工交流 -_-！！

上班时候偷懒看奇幻小说 北京战争，然后下班又看到现在。挺有味道的，理想阿，都是这个样子。可惜文件确实有点大，firefox 可以轻松打开，却没办法全文转发到这里 :(

有个主意，就是建立个 LUG。因为这里 Linux 的部署毕竟多一些，用途也是我以前想不到的广泛。这里也会有很多专业的人，比如著名的 jason (夹生?)，大家都是福田区，而南山区更不必说。接下来做什么呢，首先是必须承认，手把手的顾问，耗费的资源太大。我自己都舍不得雇我自己干活儿，这是我最得意的一句话之一。然而，一些直接的交流，比起论坛和邮件列表都好得多。主要的想法，是建立一个 ID、专长和联系方式的对应表。这张表可以有部分公开，便于大家直接联系，更多的是由一个中间人来转发请求。如果论坛，那么请求会被淹没。如果邮件列表，那么没多少人习惯。实在是跑楼上楼下修机器，以及打电话的方式更习惯了。也许我的手机在周六可以做热线？

部署问题，从个人到企业，从玩具到单机、大规模部署，各种事情都可以顾问。可以收赞助，也可以不收钱。但是，究竟应该联系谁呢，也许 jason 是首先该请教的。
吃饭问题，没错，我得先来点见面礼，对吧。
关系问题，还是把这个问题摆出来，无论是不是能做到顾问，解决大小问题，能认识用户还是好事，也许会认识很多高手。
